    Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) research often relies on animal models to study the etiology, pathophysiology, and management of IBD. Among these models, rats and mice are frequently employed due to their practicality and genetic manipulability. However, for studies aiming to closely mimic human pathology, non-human primates such as monkeys and dogs offer valuable physiological parallels. Guinea pigs, while less commonly used, present unique advantages for investigating the intricate interplay between neurological and immunological factors in IBD. Additionally, New Zealand rabbits excel in endoscopic biopsy techniques, providing insights into mucosal inflammation and healing processes. Pigs, with their physiological similarities to humans, serve as ideal models for exploring the complex relationships between nutrition, metabolism, and immunity in IBD. Beyond mammals, non-mammalian organisms including zebrafish,

    Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic relapsing inflammatory gastrointestinal tract diseases of uncertain origin, which are frequently associated with zinc deficiency. Animal models have a considerable value in elucidating the process of IBD. In this study, 50 male C57BL/6 J mice were randomly assigned to five groups: control group (Con), 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) group, and three zinc supplementation groups, namely 160 ppm group, 400 ppm group, and 1000 ppm group. The results showed that supplementation of dietary zinc with zinc oxide could effectively relieve the severity of ulcerative colitis induced by TNBS in mice. We demonstrate that the protective mechanism involves the immunomodulation of dietary zinc by increasing CD3

    Abstract Purpose: To describe MDCT findings in adult patients of midgut malrotation and to correlate the types of adult midgut malrotation with its complications.
    Materials and methods: CT scans were performed on 14 adult patients with midgut malrotation. The images were reviewed retrospectively by one radiologist. Abnormal intestinal location, mesenteric vascular arrangement, extraintestinal anomalies and complications were evaluated and correlated with patterns of adult midgut malrotation.
    Results: The 14 cases of adult midgut malrotation revealed the following CT findings: intestinal malposition (n = 14), abnormally oriented mesenteric vessels (n = 8), extraintestinal anomalies (n = 14). These cases were classified into six types: complete nonrotation (n = 3), nonrotated duodenum and partially rotated colon (n = 6), isolated nonrotation of the duodenum (n = 2), partial rotation of the duodenum and colon (n = 1), partially rotated duodenum (n = 1) and isolated colonic partial rotation (n = 1). Four of these patients had accompanying complications, including volvulus (n = 2), right paraduodenal hernia (n = 1) and gastroduodenal intussusception (n = 1), respectively.
    Conclusion: Imaging features of adult midgut malrotation are characteristic. Adult midgut malrotation has various manifestations, and types of midgut malrotation may be closely related to their complications.
